Morning Market

Srinagar is well known for its produce- fruits and vegetables. Early every morning the vegetable market takes place where farmers come to sell their stock, both retail and wholesale. All stock is brought to the site on small boats and all transactions and bargaining is carried out in the boats on the lake. It is on Dal Lake and is just a normal affair for locals but attracts a fair number of curious tourists, At the height of market time it is phrenetic and busy, people joslling and arguing over prices making for a colorful and chaotic atmosphere. Nevertheless, one can enjoy watching the local people going about their own way of life, which has not changed for decades. In fact, what you can enjoy most is not so much the market but the nuances of the people, such as the friendliness, the bargaining and the most interestingly the lack of females in the market. To get to the floating market on Dal Lake, one needs to start early- preferably around 5.30am. It takes about 30-45 minutes for the shikara to get to the market. You should budget to spend between 1 to 2 hours for this activity. Actually, it is not much of a big deal but rather a little novella bit like the floating markets in places like Bangkok but smaller.
